If for any reason you did not have a physical exam in the spring, or if you have any other questions, contact Robert Sutphen, Athletic Director, at 585-7400, ext. 1159.
The Health History form and the Update form must be completed and turned in to the nurse for medical clearance at the dates and times specified below. The forms can be found on the Ticonderoga High School web page and are available in the main office of the high school. Practice schedules will be posted the day you turn in your forms. You will not be able to practice until these forms have been competed and the nurse has cleared you.
If you have any questions about pre-season practices, contact your head coach. Dates and times of medical clearance at the high school nurse’s office are: Friday, August 10 at 7 a.m. for football; Monday, August 13 at 7 a.m. for soccer and cross-country; and modified sports on Monday, August 20 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Middle School Nurse’s Office.
